Jerome Tyson, 38, of the 6800 block of Weiss Avenue was taken to Lehigh Valley Hospital in Salisbury Township, where he was pronounced dead at 8:07 p.m., Coroner Scott Grim said. His death was an accident, the coroner said.

He is the region's seventh Superstorm Sandy-related death and the fourth in Lehigh County. The storm's eighth local victim, Bethlehem Township, N.J., emergency management coordinator William Hardenberg, died this morning.

Hardenberg was struck by a passing motorist in Hunterdon County as he cleaned up debris outside a home on Route 617, authorities said. Hardenberg, who died at Hunterdon Medical Center, was not working in an official capacity at the time.

Tyson, 38, was clearing debris left by the storm at an Upper Milford Township property in the 6700 block of Crown Lane, Grim said. He was cutting down a partially fallen tree when it gave way at 6:52 p.m., he said.
